Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in Colonial Heights is working with Habitat for Humanity to build a house this week in Petersburg.

Friday July 5 and Saturday July 6, volunteer workers from the church will gather at the site on Virginia Avenue in Petersburg to construct a house.  There is currently only a foundation at the site.  The Mount pleasant Baptist church volunteers plan to frame the house, put on the roof and siding and finish the electrical wiring during the 2 day local work project.

The church will also have volunteers on site to feed the workers and provide cold water.  There will also be people prayer walking around the neighborhood.  We currently expect about 40 workers on Friday and about 70 workers on Saturday.  Even children and youth are helping with the project.  Channellos pizza in Colonial Heights have offered to donate pizza for all the volunteer workers on Friday. 

the construction project manager is pastor Gary Beaty and he can be reached at 804-337-4255.
